Psidium guajava, the common guava, an evergreen shrub or small tree natively grows in the Caribbean, Central America and South America. While these Australian-grown guavas are grown in the Northern Territory.

This variety is the white flesh guava, usually with plenty of edible seeds. Some Southeast Asian cultures would slice this guava to eat raw then dipped in chilli salt or preserved plum powder. It is also served in Malaysian rojak salad.
